Chapter 48
Just as Qiao Yu was about to speak, she saw Rong Yin Huan rushing in.
As the commander in front of the palace, it was good that he didn't come in, but the atmosphere in the palace was even more tense when he came in. The ministers who didn't know why looked at Rong Yinhuan who was talking to the emperor in a low voice, trying to read the expressions on their faces. See some clues.
The emperor's expression remained unchanged, but he got up and walked out with Rong Yinhuan.
Everyone was even more terrified, and they even wondered if the emperor was mad with anger.
The prince tilted his head, and wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeves with minimal movement. Xie Jujin felt that the prince was cowardly and incompetent, but at the same time, there was inevitably a trace of sadness connected with fate.
Qiao Yu simply leaned back on the wheelchair and didn't speak, just propped his chin with his hands, turning a blind eye to the sight of the prince wishing to kill him.
The emperor changed his character from day to day, and he didn't feel that the other party had left early after all the tricks had been done, or that he had offended the future emperor with an unknown future, and was afraid. He just felt sorry for Zhou, and was still kneeling.
Bai Heyun couldn't help but look at Yuan Zanbi. This matter has nothing to do with Yuanzanbi, but he just wanted to see Yuanzanbi's reaction. Unfortunately, Mr. Yuan has always been serious, but his mind is wandering, like the East Palace. The change of owner is not as interesting as the faintly cracked white jade bricks under his feet.
Qiao Yu turned his gaze from Zhou Zhen who was kneeling upright to Yuan Zanbi's face.
Mr. Yuan was thoughtful, he thought, could he be calling me a rebellious minister and thief with ulterior motives in his heart?
Different from the guesses of Xie Jujin and others, Qiao Yu didn't have any thoughts of killing the prince, at least not now. He was aimlessly wondering why the Yuanzan pen was so far away from him, and he couldn't even see the Yuanzan pen clearly. Accessorized at the waist.
I don't know who made that wire, it's more delicate than the ones sold on the market, presumably it was made by a young daughter.
Qiao Yu shook his head.
Different from the tense atmosphere in the main hall, the relationship between the emperor and the empress dowager was almost peaceful.
Looking around the world, this old man is the only person who can make the emperor come out of the palace to greet him and leave all the courtiers behind.
The empress dowager said that it was inconvenient for her to go to the palace, but her attitude was natural when she was accompanied by the emperor. She didn't feel that there was anything wrong with letting the emperor accompany her out during the court meeting, as if the man standing beside her was not the emperor, but just her young man. The immature grandson.
Breeze blows.
The Empress Dowager said in the warm wind: "The Ai family heard about Chen Qiutai." The emperor raised his eyes, "Your Majesty and Chen Qiutai have always been close, but the state affairs are busy, so even if you are sad for the uncle, you must take good care of yourself." Body."
The emperor nodded and said, "Yes."
How could the Empress Dowager not know how Chen Qiutai died, and how could she not know that it was not Qiao Yu who could force such important and powerful officials as Chen Qiutai to death?She knew it in her heart, but right now she softly advised the emperor to take care of his health and not to be too sad.
The emperor agreed with his usual expression.
He answered so naturally that even he himself felt a little amused.
Rong Yinhuan brought people to accompany him not far or near.
The Empress Dowager said: "Has Your Majesty visited the Empress today? Her natal family had such a big change, it is human nature to be sad. If Your Majesty has time, you should visit her more often."
Empress Chen's character is more than enough to be the mistress of a noble family, but she has become a queen. She has a gentle personality and a good family. She has no intentions and has nothing to say to the emperor. Such a big thing has happened in the past few days , and would only cry in the palace. The Empress Dowager heard that Chen Qiutai was dead, and feared that something might happen to the queen, she went to see it herself.
The noble woman who has been a queen for more than twenty years just cried, the prince knelt on the ground and wiped his tears with his sleeve, the empress dowager looked helpless.
Of these two people, it can be said that one should not be a queen, and the other should not be a prince.
The emperor said: "Yes, I understand." He paused, "Although Chen Qiutai made a mistake, it has nothing to do with the empress after all. I can still see how the empress has behaved over the years. Please rest assured."
The Empress Dowager laughed, "Ai's family has nothing to worry about, Your Majesty has always acted prudently."
The emperor also smiled slightly.
"Although the Ai family has lived in the deep palace for a long time, they still heard some rumors." The empress dowager restrained her smile and said, "It's about the prince. It is said that your majesty thinks that the prince's virtue is unworthy and unbearable to remove the prince. There is a plan to change the East Palace." I mean, although such rumors are absurd, but people with a heart can’t resist taking this matter as His Majesty’s will, Your Majesty, what do you think?”
The emperor said without hesitation: "The prince has a soft personality, very similar to his mother." He seemed to answer the question, but also seemed to explain his thoughts.
How can such a person be a prince?
The Empress Dowager only said: "Your Majesty, what do you think of King Ning back then?"
King Ning was no less popular than the old prince back then, and after the old prince passed away, he was even more loved by the late emperor, and he wanted to establish a heir several times.
It's a pity that because God was jealous of Yingcai, King Ning fell from his horse and broke a leg.
The emperor pondered and said: "Prince Ning's house is kind-hearted and has a plan, which is deeply loved by my father. If it wasn't for the accident that year, perhaps I would not be the one who is chatting with the emperor's grandmother here today."
Not too many people know what happened back then.
The empress dowager happened to be one, but she didn't say a word, she just watched coldly.
The Empress Dowager said: "Your Majesty asked the Ai family before, what did the Ai family say to the late emperor, so that the late emperor decreed to make your majesty the crown prince that afternoon."
The emperor's smile remained unchanged, "If the emperor's grandmother doesn't want to say it, I will definitely not force it."
He insinuated several times, but all he got was the old lady's subtle diversion of the topic.
The Empress Dowager said: "The Ai family said that the fourth prince was born of the empress after all, and he is known for his talents and virtues. He is admired by important officials in the court. It can be said that everyone expects it. Besides," she stopped, and the emperor who had been beside her He also stopped, "If you don't establish a concubine son, but a concubine son, I don't know how many disputes will arise in the future. If your majesty establishes King Ning, what do you want the other princes to do? Since King Ning can be the prince, can the other princes also be able to do so?" To be a prince? At present, all the princes have important officials behind the court, and if an unconvincing King Ning is established, what will happen in the court, His Majesty knows better than the Ai family."
The emperor nodded and said, "I see."
The empress dowager's meaning couldn't be more obvious.
The Empress Dowager said: "Chen Qiutai is newly mourned, even if he committed a heinous crime and the evidence of his treason is solid, he will feel sympathy with him and have a similar feeling. It's not that these adults want to rebel, but these adults are just like Chen Qiutai. , all come from aristocratic families. Your Majesty, whether it is Fang Hechi or Chen Qiutai is enough to make these people vigilant, not to mention the two things are put together. The Ai family knows His Majesty's intentions, but His Majesty is still in his prime, why can't he take it slowly? ?”
"As the emperor's grandmother said," the emperor said, "I understand."
The Empress Dowager said in a low tone, "Even an ignorant woman like Aijia who often stays in the deep palace and ignores the government understands the truth, so why don't His Majesty's subjects understand it? Your Majesty, today's words are not about the Crown Prince, but just discussing the facts. .The person who provoked this matter is truly despicable."
The emperor smiled subtly, and said, "It's because I'm jet-lagged, yet I still have to worry about it." For some unknown reason, he suddenly said, "Grandmother, who is the one who strongly advocates this?"
The Empress Dowager did not want to show that she knew too much about the affairs of the court, and said, "I don't know."
The emperor said: "It's Qiao Yu, Prime Minister Qiao. I may not know the name of my grandmother, but it's the little man who was praised for his good looks at the grandmother's birthday banquet."
"The one who is on good terms with Mr. Yuan Xiaolang?" the Empress Dowager said.
"Yes."
The empress dowager had extremely complicated emotions in her heart, and she had nothing to say for a while.
She didn't know whether to lament the emperor's cruelty, or to scold the entire Liu family for being cold-hearted, or to blame herself for being pitiful, and she had to witness these things with her own eyes when she was clearly in her destiny.
The Empress Dowager said: "Previously, the Ai family thought that this child looked like a zhilanyu tree, but it really is a person who cannot be judged by his appearance, and his thoughts are so vicious." When she said this, her tone was also light, "Your Majesty, the Ai family has something else to ask. His Majesty agrees."
"Please speak."
"The Ai family is old and misses their old friends more and more, but most of them have already gone," she smiled wryly, "If there is no problem with etiquette, the Ai family would like to meet Mr. Yuan Xiaolang and have some gossip with him."
Yuan Zanbi's grandmother was a sister of the same clan as the Empress Dowager, and the relationship between the two was very good when the Empress Dowager was not married.
The emperor said: "Okay." He smiled, "It's just that this child is not very close to the family. If you want to ask about family matters, you will probably be disappointed."
The Empress Dowager sighed softly and said, "What do children know?"
……
Half an hour after the emperor went out, the courtiers in the palace thought about everything they could think of, but they still didn't know what the emperor was going out for.
Poor Mr. Zhou Zhenzhou, he can only kneel when the emperor is not around.
Eunuch Xia came back to deliver an imperial edict, saying that His Majesty has an order to disperse the court today, and discuss things tomorrow.
There was a moment of silence in the hall, and then there was a discussion in an instant.
The prince almost lost his footing, but fortunately, Yuan Zan, who was standing by the side, had a sharp eye and a quick hand, and supported the prince.
The prince was stunned for a moment, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Yuan."
When he faced Yuan Zanbi, he had mixed emotions. It was true that Yuan Zanbi had done nothing, but it was also true that he and Qiao Yu had a good relationship.
Yuan Zanbi withdrew his hand and said, "Don't dare."
His action is really meaningful in the eyes of people with ulterior motives.
If Yuan Zanbi knew about it, he would probably feel very wronged, because he was completely thinking about Qiao Yu's matter in his mind before, and he didn't hear the decree at all.
Qiao Yu just raised his hand and put it down again, swallowing Master Yuan silently.
He is used to being unscrupulous in ordinary times, but now he has some other emotions - if it is possible, Yuan Zanbi shouldn't die.
Nor should they be angered.
What the emperor did today can be said to have put the prince on fire first, and then slapped his cronies hard in the eyes of everyone.
Qiao Yu was sitting in a wheelchair, her pensive profile looked extremely lonely.
The emperor's attitude was ambiguous, and Qiao Yu's actions completely offended the crown prince, so compared to the crown prince who was greeted by someone in the past, he looked very lonely.
He has a flamboyant and beautiful appearance, and his expression is as usual. At this time, it makes people feel forced to smile. I don't know how Qiao Yu feels in his heart when the emperor is like this today.
Qiao Yu thought: What are you having for dinner today?
The little eunuch put his hand on Qiao Yu's wheelchair, and Yuan Zan raised his step, but someone behind him said: "Lord Yuan, the Empress Dowager please go over."
Yuan Zanbi couldn't figure out what the Empress Dowager could do with him at this time, so he nodded and followed.
He tilted his head, and Qiao Yu was lowering his head to fiddle with his sleeves, so he didn't meet his line of sight.
When the Empress Dowager returned to the palace, she was not as full of worries as others thought. On the contrary, she leisurely sipped tea in the courtyard and watched the granddaughters playing in the pavilion.
While chopping oranges, Liu Anping watched her two younger sisters fight. She didn't know what happened in the past, and the queen was not her biological mother, so she was calmer and happier than most people in the palace. She even picked the shredded oranges and put them in the Put it on the plate in front of the Empress Dowager, and said: "Grandmother."
The Empress Dowager regained her senses and looked at the slim great-granddaughter in front of her. When she blinked, she felt her eyes were dry and sore. She felt nothing in her heart, but the corners of her eyes were wet.
Liu Anping was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly picked up the handkerchief, and saw that the Empress Dowager was not worried, wiped her tears, and scolded her: "The wind is so strong today, and the Empress Dowager is in the courtyard again, blowing wind from all sides. , why didn't anyone think of carrying a few screens?" Before he finished speaking, there were already swift attendants leaving the pavilion.
The Empress Dowager patted Liu Anping's hand and said, "Good boy, Aijia is fine, what are you doing with the screen, it's a mess, don't ask anyone to disturb this cleanliness."
"Great-grandmother..."
The Empress Dowager said indifferently: "The day the Crown Princess entered the palace was also such a sunny day." She looked up and missed Liu Anping's handkerchief, "It's also in this courtyard. Fang Zitian, after so many years, he hasn't changed at all."
Princess?
The emperor has never been a prince, and the queen has never been a princess. Although the prince is married, he has never been in the palace of the empress dowager. It is self-evident who the empress dowager is talking about.
It was a sunny day, and the wind was blowing warm on his body, but Liu Anping felt that his body was terribly cold.
The Empress Dowager didn't notice the changes in her great-granddaughter at all. She squinted her eyes and said as if recalling: "The Crown Princess was only 15 years old when she came to Aijia that year. She just reached the age of Ji. Zhang Shangshu gave her daughter a boy's name. Her name is Zhang Zhao, and the small characters are even like a jade. She looks like a jade. When she comes, all the flowers and plants in the courtyard of Ai's house become a foil. Even the reddest and most colorful flowers in front of her can't steal her limelight. .”
Liu Anping whispered, "Grandmother Gao."
The Empress Dowager, who was immersed in memories, only distracted for a while, and then she pulled Liu Anping into her arms like a child.
The two little princesses looked at them for no reason and giggled.
"At that time, who in the palace didn't like her, she was so good-natured, lively, but not rude, and her family was noble, the emperor often talked with her father at night by candlelight, and promised to find a young talent of the right family for Lian Bi, The emperor can't marry her, but the prince might, such a good daughter-in-law, such a father-in-law who is close to the emperor, who in the palace doesn't love a son of the right age, even if there is no one, who doesn't like flowers, doesn't like to be as beautiful as flowers The little girl? She is talented, just like her father, she is also liked by the emperor, and the emperor treats her a little more than other princesses."
"The first time Lianbi entered the palace, he met the prince, Xiaosi and Xiaowu. The prince and Xiaowu both said they admired Lianbi, but Xiaosi didn't say anything," said the Empress Dowager with a smile on her face. "But the Ai family knows that this kid has a lot of thoughts and doesn't want others to know what he likes. He also likes Lian Bi."
"The emperor also intended to let Lian Bi marry into the palace. He felt that a girl as talented and beautiful as Lian Bi would be liked by many people. He guessed right. When Lian Bi was 16 years old, the prince and the fourth They all told the emperor in private that they liked Lianbi, which stumped the emperor."
Xiao Si is the current emperor.
The only one who dares to call him that is this old woman who has been widowed in the palace for decades.
"In terms of etiquette, since the crown prince said he likes Lianbi, there is no reason for the emperor not to marry him, but the crown prince and Xiaosi are brothers from the same mother, and they were born only half an hour apart. For so many years, Xiao Si has never begged for anything in front of him, and it is rare for the child to open his mouth with his father, so why does he refuse to agree."
Liu Anping was hugged by the Empress Dowager, but her body was getting colder and colder, she was almost shivering, and said: "Grandmother."
The Empress Dowager said: "He was in a dilemma, so he told his two sons that he would not get involved in this marriage, it all depends on Lian Bi's willingness, whoever Lian Bi wants to marry, the Empress Dowager will marry him." The Empress Dowager laughed Laughing, "The emperor said that Lianbi was willing, but everyone knew that in the end, Ai's family had to point out the marriage. The Ai's family told the emperor that you were embarrassing your mother. The emperor and Ai's family apologized, saying that there was no one else to do this except for their mother." People are more suitable."
"The prince lost his mother when he was young, and was raised by the Ai family, and Xiao Si was raised by the imperial concubine. Although he was born to the same mother, the prince is closer to the Ai family."
Liu Anping didn't dare to listen anymore.
"The prince is already under one person and above ten thousand people. He is already hated by others, and the Ai family is unwilling to add another fire. For many years, the Ai family has treated the prince just like other descendants. There is nothing special about it." Tai Huang The Empress Dowager smiled, as if she was recalling those youths who were in full bloom, "But when the prince knelt in front of Ai's family and told Ai's family that he liked Lianbi with bright eyes, he had never liked anyone like this before." , Aijia just wants to be partial."
"Prince, the prince is a good boy. What he has, Xiao Si has. Some unique things, if Xiao Si wants them, the prince will give them to him without hesitation. This time, he didn't let him. The Ai family understands that this How to make things happen."
"So the Ai family called Lian Bi into the palace. She is more beautiful than the last time the Ai family saw her. Her eyes seem to be clear water. If the Ai family is a young man, he will also like such a girl."
"The Ai family said to Lian Bi with a sullen face, Miss Zhang made the palace uneasy. The left and right were frightened by the Ai family, but Lian Bi was not. She knelt in front of the Ai family to plead guilty, still with a smile on her face, She said to wait for the queen mother to leave. How could the Ai family be willing to punish her? Get her up, ask someone to pour tea for her, and tell her that several princes like her, and want to ask the Ai family to marry her. I want to ask you, Zhang family is said to be noble, why don’t there be a few more pieces of jade in the house? Jade is linked to the city, too many strong people are difficult, how come there are no lotus flowers growing together? She smiled and said to the Queen Mother, in front of princes and daughters, I dare not praise it. Then whispered, who are the princes that the Queen Mother mentioned?"
"So the Ai family said that it was the fourth prince, the fifth prince, and the seventh prince. She didn't even blink her eyes. She just said it was the fault of the courtiers. She will definitely restrain herself in the future. I looked into the child's eyes and knew that she didn't care about anyone. I like it. The Ai family said again, ah, there is also the prince. She laughed immediately. The Ai family looked at her, and it was the first time they saw her blushing from the bottom of her ears. It happened that the prince came, and the Ai family asked the prince to talk to Lianbi. I was young when I was young, so I can't say anything, just say, I have a heart of cherishing money and things. Before I finish talking about Lian Bi, I will grab white. Is the courtier money or things? After finishing speaking, I will talk to Aijia Farewell, the Ai family agreed, but the crown prince couldn't stop him, he watched Lian Bi leave helplessly, and even after sitting down for a cup of tea, he would leave too. The Ai family..."
Liu Anping broke away from her embrace, and knelt straight in front of her.
The Empress Dowager was puzzled and said, "Xiao Liu, what are you doing?"
Liu Anping's teeth were trembling, and he said: "There are too many royal secrets in the story of the Empress Dowager, the younger generation dare not listen to it."
The Empress Dowager looked at the Sixth Princess, her eyes did not look like an old man, nor did she look like a great-grandmother, as if she was examining something.
Liu Anping kowtowed deeply.
After a while, the Empress Dowager smiled calmly and said, "Good boy, what are you doing kneeling, get up quickly."
Behind the Empress Dowager, the beauty in a palace costume said: "Empress Dowager, Lord Yuan is here."
The Empress Dowager smiled, and said, "Tell him to come here." She was joking, "Your father had pointed you to Yuan Zanbi before, Yuanzanbi is well-born, and it's good at home, and you can be considered a household name with you." Yes, do you like him?"
Liu Anping shook her head, because of the previous incident, she only dared to say: "Grandmother Gao, Master Yuan has arrived." Like a shy little daughter.
The Empress Dowager said: "Anping, take your two younger sisters to another place to play."
Liu Anping nodded and said: "Yes." He said and led the two younger sisters out.
She happened to meet Yuan Zan pen coming in.
Although Yuan Zanbi was not wearing a military uniform, it was incompatible with the leisurely and elegant residence of the Empress Dowager.
It was as if some kind of sword had turned into a human form, no matter where it was, it was cold and hard, not soft at all.
It's completely different from Qiao Yu who has to soften his tone of voice.
The Empress Dowager saw that Yuan Zan had finished kneeling, and said, "Give me a seat."
The location is very close to the Empress Dowager.
Yuan Zanbi didn't know whether to sit down or not.
The Empress Dowager said: "If you really look into it carefully, you should also call Aijia grandma." She pointed to the seat beside her, "Sit down." Her tone was not as cold as before, "Have you seen your grandma?"
Yuan Zanbi sat down and said, "I met you a few times when I was young."
"It's not very close."
Yuan Zanbi's status is embarrassing, in the Yuan family, except for Yuan Zanying, he is not close to anyone, and said: "Yes, when I was young, I had a very unpleasant personality."
When the Empress Dowager heard this, she laughed a little and said, "You haven't changed yet."
Yuan Zanbi had no choice but to say: "The minister lost his manners in front of the Empress Dowager, please ask the Empress Dowager to come down."
The Empress Dowager waved her hand in annoyance.
The sun shone on the luxurious emeralds on the old man's head, which was shockingly beautiful.
The Empress Dowager said: "You have some inextricable connections with the royal family. With your status, if the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, the Ai family dare not make promises, but at least you will be honored."
Of course Yuan Zanbi knew that the Empress Dowager would not look for him for no reason, but he didn't expect it to be because of the prince.
She has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and she did not ask about state affairs early on. If it was not an emergency, she would not come forward today.
No matter who becomes the emperor, the status of the Empress Dowager will not change, she is still the most honorable woman in the entire Wei Kingdom, so in Yuan Zanbi's mind, there is no need for her to find him for the prince.
Yuan Zan wrote cautiously: "The minister will be loyal to the emperor."
But who is Jun, Yuan Zanbi doesn't know.
The Empress Dowager sneered, "The Ai family thought you were an upright person, but it turns out that you are also a villain who adapts to the wind."
Yuan Zanbi blinked his eyes, he just wanted to ask about the empress dowager's unceremonious evaluation, why did the empress dowager think he was a decent person?
The young people didn't speak, they expected her to be quite innocent, even a person like the Empress Dowager couldn't help feeling that what she had said was too much, she covered her mouth with her sleeve and coughed twice, saying: "Aijia The first time I heard about you was because of Chang Ning. Chang Ning told the Ai family that there was a fool in the previous court, and he even gave up his career and life to save the son of a guilty minister." She looked at Yuan Zanbi's face, "Who People can't predict what will happen next, so it can be seen that you still had some sincerity towards the son of the criminal minister, why are you running in the opposite direction now, and you don't vote for it?"
The son of the guilty minister she was talking about was naturally Qiao Yu.
I don't know if it is Yuan Zanbi's illusion, it seems that no matter who it is, he always likes to make a big fuss about his relationship with Qiao Yu.
"It's not going in the opposite direction." Yuan Zan wrote.
The Empress Dowager sneered, "You and Qiao Yu are not at odds, but you still have to say that love is incompatible?"
Yuan Zanbi didn't understand this evaluation even more.
He and Qiao Yu... are incompatible?
The Empress Dowager continued: "Although Ai's family is in the harem, they have heard about the affairs of the previous dynasty. Qiao Yu is very fond of His Majesty." She changed the subject, "However, the Sacred Heart is unpredictable, and he acts ruthlessly and decisively. Do not leave a way out for yourself, do you understand?"
Yuan Zanbi only felt that the conversation at this moment was full of weirdness.
For example, why did the Empress Dowager care about his relationship with Qiao Yu? For example, why did the Empress Dowager care about Qiao Yu so much?
"Qiao Xiangxin has a plan, and his sacred heart is extremely prosperous. Please be at ease, the Empress Dowager."
The Empress Dowager said coldly: "You know everything, but you still say a few irrelevant words to perfuse Aijia."
He clearly knew that Qiao Yu would end badly, but he didn't say a word to stop him, and just watched with cold eyes.
It can be seen that the relationship with Qiao Yu is indeed different from the past.
This is what the empress dowager meant.
Yuan Zan paused slightly, and said: "I dare not be perfunctory."
The Empress Dowager's eyes fell on his face, and the other party's expression was a little bit of fear, but in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, most of them were fake.
From his mouth, the Empress Dowager couldn't hear anything she wanted to hear, and from his face, the Empress Dowager couldn't see anything she wanted to see.
"Today's matter, in the end, is related to the prince. Qiao Yu is too ruthless, too ignorant of the importance," the empress dowager said coldly. Qiao Yu, who caused her to kiss her great-grandson, was not Yuan Zan Bi, who seemed to be standing clean on the shore all the time, "You said that your relationship with Qiao Yu has never been estranged, did he tell you about this?" She replied, "Whether you know it or not, you naturally have to answer that you don't know."
Yuan Zanbi: "..."
Even a person like him who has almost no curiosity can't help wondering what the empress dowager wants him to do here.
Every word of the Empress Dowager seemed to be displeased with what Qiao Yu did to the Crown Prince, but Qiao Yu was so full of words that Yuan Zanbi even thought that the Crown Prince was just a cover, and the Empress Dowager was more concerned about Qiao Yu.
Forgive him for not being smart enough to guess the intention of the Empress Dowager.
"If Qiao Yu continues to go his own way, Your Majesty will definitely not be tolerated by the new emperor after a hundred years." The Empress Dowager said, "If there is any trouble again, the only way to die. Today, he and the crown prince are fighting each other, but it will only cause internal friction in the court. The crown prince is a crown prince. There was no fluctuation in her tone, but the pride of the royal family was naturally revealed in it, "I will always be a prince."
Although the prince is weak and cowardly, he is better than the third prince in the empress dowager's heart. Qiao Yu would be too foolish if he wanted to support the third prince.With the character of the third prince, Qiao Yu was bound to die.
Yuan Zan wrote: "Yes, I take orders."
In the eyes of the Empress Dowager, her children and grandchildren inevitably entered a dead end, and she was anxious and sad in her heart, and could not speak out.
The Empress Dowager didn't know how much Yuan Zanbi was sincere and how false she was to Qiao Yu, but the Empress Dowager could only think of him to persuade Qiao Yu.
The Empress Dowager said: "The Ai family is tired, you can go down."
Yuan Zanbi got up and bowed to say goodbye.
The Empress Dowager suddenly said, "Did Qiao Yu's leg be broken in the quiet room?"
Yuan Zan wrote: "Yes."
The Empress Dowager was speechless for a while, and said: "Go."
She leaned back on the chair and stared blankly at the scenery in the courtyard.
She entered the palace at the age of 14, gave birth to the emperor at the age of 16, and became the queen at the age of 17. She went through many battles and schemes, and before she was 40, the emperor died. Her son fought with a group of brothers and became a descendant an emperor.
Her husband had never established a crown prince in his life, and several sons had fought to the death for this position for nearly ten years. The new emperor was afraid and established a crown prince early.
The prince is her favorite grandson, and Xiao Si is her beloved child.
However, her beloved child is inseparable from the death of her favorite grandson.
Now Qiao Yu desperately wants the emperor to abolish the crown prince.
It has simply become a cycle.
In her life, she has witnessed how many brothers killed each other, and father and son turned against each other.
There were so many words in his mouth, but in the end it was just a deep sigh.
Qiao Yu's sharpness is too sharp, it will not last long.
I hope that the Yuanzan pen can really make him restrain himself a little, I hope.
……
And this Qiao Xiang, who made countless people hate him so much that he wanted to eat his flesh and skin, was worrying about what to eat for dinner.
The emperor had already sent someone to appease the prince, and naturally he also appeased the prince. Neither of them took advantage of the slightest advantage.
Besides, as long as the emperor does not abolish the crown prince, the crown prince will be the future emperor. There is no need to offend the future lord of the world because of Qiao Yu, a lunatic.
People in the court are used to meeting the wind and making the rudder, Qiao Yu is used to it, and now feels that he has suffered a lot.
Lost everything.
He poured himself a cup of tea, drank it in one gulp, and used the tea to grind his teeth, which looked a little funny.
He said: "Hantan, what time is it?"
"You hour." The latter replied.
Qiao Yu said: "It's really strange, Yuan Zanbi still hasn't come back at this hour, could it be that the Empress Dowager still keeps him for dinner?"
Han Tan was speechless.
Of course he knew that in Qiao Yu's mind, it didn't matter whether the Yuanzan pen stayed with the Empress Dowager for dinner, what was important was why the Yuanzan pen didn't come.
Qiao Yu really hoped that Yuan Zan's pen would come, but the less involved with him at this time, the better.
He seldom thinks about others, and when this thought comes out, even he is taken aback.
Let him die with you, he thought, isn't it good?
As the commander in front of the palace, it was good that he didn't come in, but the atmosphere in the palace was even more tense when he came in. The ministers who didn't know why looked at Rong Yinhuan who was talking to the emperor in a low voice, trying to read the expressions on their faces. See some clues.
The emperor's expression remained unchanged, but he got up and walked out with Rong Yinhuan.
Everyone was even more terrified, and they even wondered if the emperor was mad with anger.
The prince tilted his head, and wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeves with minimal movement. Xie Jujin felt that the prince was cowardly and incompetent, but at the same time, there was inevitably a trace of sadness connected with fate.
Qiao Yu simply leaned back on the wheelchair and didn't speak, just propped his chin with his hands, turning a blind eye to the sight of the prince wishing to kill him.
The emperor changed his character from day to day, and he didn't feel that the other party had left early after all the tricks had been done, or that he had offended the future emperor with an unknown future, and was afraid. He just felt sorry for Zhou, and was still kneeling.
Bai Heyun couldn't help but look at Yuan Zanbi. This matter has nothing to do with Yuanzanbi, but he just wanted to see Yuanzanbi's reaction. Unfortunately, Mr. Yuan has always been serious, but his mind is wandering, like the East Palace. The change of owner is not as interesting as the faintly cracked white jade bricks under his feet.
Qiao Yu turned his gaze from Zhou Zhen who was kneeling upright to Yuan Zanbi's face.
Mr. Yuan was thoughtful, he thought, could he be calling me a rebellious minister and thief with ulterior motives in his heart?
Different from the guesses of Xie Jujin and others, Qiao Yu didn't have any thoughts of killing the prince, at least not now. He was aimlessly wondering why the Yuanzan pen was so far away from him, and he couldn't even see the Yuanzan pen clearly. Accessorized at the waist.
I don't know who made that wire, it's more delicate than the ones sold on the market, presumably it was made by a young daughter.
Qiao Yu shook his head.
Different from the tense atmosphere in the main hall, the relationship between the emperor and the empress dowager was almost peaceful.
Looking around the world, this old man is the only person who can make the emperor come out of the palace to greet him and leave all the courtiers behind.
The empress dowager said that it was inconvenient for her to go to the palace, but her attitude was natural when she was accompanied by the emperor. She didn't feel that there was anything wrong with letting the emperor accompany her out during the court meeting, as if the man standing beside her was not the emperor, but just her young man. The immature grandson.
Breeze blows.
The Empress Dowager said in the warm wind: "The Ai family heard about Chen Qiutai." The emperor raised his eyes, "Your Majesty and Chen Qiutai have always been close, but the state affairs are busy, so even if you are sad for the uncle, you must take good care of yourself." Body."
The emperor nodded and said, "Yes."
How could the Empress Dowager not know how Chen Qiutai died, and how could she not know that it was not Qiao Yu who could force such important and powerful officials as Chen Qiutai to death?She knew it in her heart, but right now she softly advised the emperor to take care of his health and not to be too sad.
The emperor agreed with his usual expression.
He answered so naturally that even he himself felt a little amused.
Rong Yinhuan brought people to accompany him not far or near.
The Empress Dowager said: "Has Your Majesty visited the Empress today? Her natal family had such a big change, it is human nature to be sad. If Your Majesty has time, you should visit her more often."
Empress Chen's character is more than enough to be the mistress of a noble family, but she has become a queen. She has a gentle personality and a good family. She has no intentions and has nothing to say to the emperor. Such a big thing has happened in the past few days , and would only cry in the palace. The Empress Dowager heard that Chen Qiutai was dead, and feared that something might happen to the queen, she went to see it herself.
The noble woman who has been a queen for more than twenty years just cried, the prince knelt on the ground and wiped his tears with his sleeve, the empress dowager looked helpless.
Of these two people, it can be said that one should not be a queen, and the other should not be a prince.
The emperor said: "Yes, I understand." He paused, "Although Chen Qiutai made a mistake, it has nothing to do with the empress after all. I can still see how the empress has behaved over the years. Please rest assured."
The Empress Dowager laughed, "Ai's family has nothing to worry about, Your Majesty has always acted prudently."
The emperor also smiled slightly.
"Although the Ai family has lived in the deep palace for a long time, they still heard some rumors." The empress dowager restrained her smile and said, "It's about the prince. It is said that your majesty thinks that the prince's virtue is unworthy and unbearable to remove the prince. There is a plan to change the East Palace." I mean, although such rumors are absurd, but people with a heart can’t resist taking this matter as His Majesty’s will, Your Majesty, what do you think?”
The emperor said without hesitation: "The prince has a soft personality, very similar to his mother." He seemed to answer the question, but also seemed to explain his thoughts.
How can such a person be a prince?
The Empress Dowager only said: "Your Majesty, what do you think of King Ning back then?"
King Ning was no less popular than the old prince back then, and after the old prince passed away, he was even more loved by the late emperor, and he wanted to establish a heir several times.
It's a pity that because God was jealous of Yingcai, King Ning fell from his horse and broke a leg.
The emperor pondered and said: "Prince Ning's house is kind-hearted and has a plan, which is deeply loved by my father. If it wasn't for the accident that year, perhaps I would not be the one who is chatting with the emperor's grandmother here today."
Not too many people know what happened back then.
The empress dowager happened to be one, but she didn't say a word, she just watched coldly.
The Empress Dowager said: "Your Majesty asked the Ai family before, what did the Ai family say to the late emperor, so that the late emperor decreed to make your majesty the crown prince that afternoon."
The emperor's smile remained unchanged, "If the emperor's grandmother doesn't want to say it, I will definitely not force it."
He insinuated several times, but all he got was the old lady's subtle diversion of the topic.
The Empress Dowager said: "The Ai family said that the fourth prince was born of the empress after all, and he is known for his talents and virtues. He is admired by important officials in the court. It can be said that everyone expects it. Besides," she stopped, and the emperor who had been beside her He also stopped, "If you don't establish a concubine son, but a concubine son, I don't know how many disputes will arise in the future. If your majesty establishes King Ning, what do you want the other princes to do? Since King Ning can be the prince, can the other princes also be able to do so?" To be a prince? At present, all the princes have important officials behind the court, and if an unconvincing King Ning is established, what will happen in the court, His Majesty knows better than the Ai family."
The emperor nodded and said, "I see."
The empress dowager's meaning couldn't be more obvious.
The Empress Dowager said: "Chen Qiutai is newly mourned, even if he committed a heinous crime and the evidence of his treason is solid, he will feel sympathy with him and have a similar feeling. It's not that these adults want to rebel, but these adults are just like Chen Qiutai. , all come from aristocratic families. Your Majesty, whether it is Fang Hechi or Chen Qiutai is enough to make these people vigilant, not to mention the two things are put together. The Ai family knows His Majesty's intentions, but His Majesty is still in his prime, why can't he take it slowly? ?”
"As the emperor's grandmother said," the emperor said, "I understand."
The Empress Dowager said in a low tone, "Even an ignorant woman like Aijia who often stays in the deep palace and ignores the government understands the truth, so why don't His Majesty's subjects understand it? Your Majesty, today's words are not about the Crown Prince, but just discussing the facts. .The person who provoked this matter is truly despicable."
The emperor smiled subtly, and said, "It's because I'm jet-lagged, yet I still have to worry about it." For some unknown reason, he suddenly said, "Grandmother, who is the one who strongly advocates this?"
The Empress Dowager did not want to show that she knew too much about the affairs of the court, and said, "I don't know."
The emperor said: "It's Qiao Yu, Prime Minister Qiao. I may not know the name of my grandmother, but it's the little man who was praised for his good looks at the grandmother's birthday banquet."
"The one who is on good terms with Mr. Yuan Xiaolang?" the Empress Dowager said.
"Yes."
The empress dowager had extremely complicated emotions in her heart, and she had nothing to say for a while.
She didn't know whether to lament the emperor's cruelty, or to scold the entire Liu family for being cold-hearted, or to blame herself for being pitiful, and she had to witness these things with her own eyes when she was clearly in her destiny.
The Empress Dowager said: "Previously, the Ai family thought that this child looked like a zhilanyu tree, but it really is a person who cannot be judged by his appearance, and his thoughts are so vicious." When she said this, her tone was also light, "Your Majesty, the Ai family has something else to ask. His Majesty agrees."
"Please speak."
"The Ai family is old and misses their old friends more and more, but most of them have already gone," she smiled wryly, "If there is no problem with etiquette, the Ai family would like to meet Mr. Yuan Xiaolang and have some gossip with him."
Yuan Zanbi's grandmother was a sister of the same clan as the Empress Dowager, and the relationship between the two was very good when the Empress Dowager was not married.
The emperor said: "Okay." He smiled, "It's just that this child is not very close to the family. If you want to ask about family matters, you will probably be disappointed."
The Empress Dowager sighed softly and said, "What do children know?"
……
Half an hour after the emperor went out, the courtiers in the palace thought about everything they could think of, but they still didn't know what the emperor was going out for.
Poor Mr. Zhou Zhenzhou, he can only kneel when the emperor is not around.
Eunuch Xia came back to deliver an imperial edict, saying that His Majesty has an order to disperse the court today, and discuss things tomorrow.
There was a moment of silence in the hall, and then there was a discussion in an instant.
The prince almost lost his footing, but fortunately, Yuan Zan, who was standing by the side, had a sharp eye and a quick hand, and supported the prince.
The prince was stunned for a moment, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Yuan."
When he faced Yuan Zanbi, he had mixed emotions. It was true that Yuan Zanbi had done nothing, but it was also true that he and Qiao Yu had a good relationship.
Yuan Zanbi withdrew his hand and said, "Don't dare."
His action is really meaningful in the eyes of people with ulterior motives.
If Yuan Zanbi knew about it, he would probably feel very wronged, because he was completely thinking about Qiao Yu's matter in his mind before, and he didn't hear the decree at all.
Qiao Yu just raised his hand and put it down again, swallowing Master Yuan silently.
He is used to being unscrupulous in ordinary times, but now he has some other emotions - if it is possible, Yuan Zanbi shouldn't die.
Nor should they be angered.
What the emperor did today can be said to have put the prince on fire first, and then slapped his cronies hard in the eyes of everyone.
Qiao Yu was sitting in a wheelchair, her pensive profile looked extremely lonely.
The emperor's attitude was ambiguous, and Qiao Yu's actions completely offended the crown prince, so compared to the crown prince who was greeted by someone in the past, he looked very lonely.
He has a flamboyant and beautiful appearance, and his expression is as usual. At this time, it makes people feel forced to smile. I don't know how Qiao Yu feels in his heart when the emperor is like this today.
Qiao Yu thought: What are you having for dinner today?
The little eunuch put his hand on Qiao Yu's wheelchair, and Yuan Zan raised his step, but someone behind him said: "Lord Yuan, the Empress Dowager please go over."
Yuan Zanbi couldn't figure out what the Empress Dowager could do with him at this time, so he nodded and followed.
He tilted his head, and Qiao Yu was lowering his head to fiddle with his sleeves, so he didn't meet his line of sight.
When the Empress Dowager returned to the palace, she was not as full of worries as others thought. On the contrary, she leisurely sipped tea in the courtyard and watched the granddaughters playing in the pavilion.
While chopping oranges, Liu Anping watched her two younger sisters fight. She didn't know what happened in the past, and the queen was not her biological mother, so she was calmer and happier than most people in the palace. She even picked the shredded oranges and put them in the Put it on the plate in front of the Empress Dowager, and said: "Grandmother."
The Empress Dowager regained her senses and looked at the slim great-granddaughter in front of her. When she blinked, she felt her eyes were dry and sore. She felt nothing in her heart, but the corners of her eyes were wet.
Liu Anping was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly picked up the handkerchief, and saw that the Empress Dowager was not worried, wiped her tears, and scolded her: "The wind is so strong today, and the Empress Dowager is in the courtyard again, blowing wind from all sides. , why didn't anyone think of carrying a few screens?" Before he finished speaking, there were already swift attendants leaving the pavilion.
The Empress Dowager patted Liu Anping's hand and said, "Good boy, Aijia is fine, what are you doing with the screen, it's a mess, don't ask anyone to disturb this cleanliness."
"Great-grandmother..."
The Empress Dowager said indifferently: "The day the Crown Princess entered the palace was also such a sunny day." She looked up and missed Liu Anping's handkerchief, "It's also in this courtyard. Fang Zitian, after so many years, he hasn't changed at all."
Princess?
The emperor has never been a prince, and the queen has never been a princess. Although the prince is married, he has never been in the palace of the empress dowager. It is self-evident who the empress dowager is talking about.
It was a sunny day, and the wind was blowing warm on his body, but Liu Anping felt that his body was terribly cold.
The Empress Dowager didn't notice the changes in her great-granddaughter at all. She squinted her eyes and said as if recalling: "The Crown Princess was only 15 years old when she came to Aijia that year. She just reached the age of Ji. Zhang Shangshu gave her daughter a boy's name. Her name is Zhang Zhao, and the small characters are even like a jade. She looks like a jade. When she comes, all the flowers and plants in the courtyard of Ai's house become a foil. Even the reddest and most colorful flowers in front of her can't steal her limelight. .”
Liu Anping whispered, "Grandmother Gao."
The Empress Dowager, who was immersed in memories, only distracted for a while, and then she pulled Liu Anping into her arms like a child.
The two little princesses looked at them for no reason and giggled.
"At that time, who in the palace didn't like her, she was so good-natured, lively, but not rude, and her family was noble, the emperor often talked with her father at night by candlelight, and promised to find a young talent of the right family for Lian Bi, The emperor can't marry her, but the prince might, such a good daughter-in-law, such a father-in-law who is close to the emperor, who in the palace doesn't love a son of the right age, even if there is no one, who doesn't like flowers, doesn't like to be as beautiful as flowers The little girl? She is talented, just like her father, she is also liked by the emperor, and the emperor treats her a little more than other princesses."
"The first time Lianbi entered the palace, he met the prince, Xiaosi and Xiaowu. The prince and Xiaowu both said they admired Lianbi, but Xiaosi didn't say anything," said the Empress Dowager with a smile on her face. "But the Ai family knows that this kid has a lot of thoughts and doesn't want others to know what he likes. He also likes Lian Bi."
"The emperor also intended to let Lian Bi marry into the palace. He felt that a girl as talented and beautiful as Lian Bi would be liked by many people. He guessed right. When Lian Bi was 16 years old, the prince and the fourth They all told the emperor in private that they liked Lianbi, which stumped the emperor."
Xiao Si is the current emperor.
The only one who dares to call him that is this old woman who has been widowed in the palace for decades.
"In terms of etiquette, since the crown prince said he likes Lianbi, there is no reason for the emperor not to marry him, but the crown prince and Xiaosi are brothers from the same mother, and they were born only half an hour apart. For so many years, Xiao Si has never begged for anything in front of him, and it is rare for the child to open his mouth with his father, so why does he refuse to agree."
Liu Anping was hugged by the Empress Dowager, but her body was getting colder and colder, she was almost shivering, and said: "Grandmother."
The Empress Dowager said: "He was in a dilemma, so he told his two sons that he would not get involved in this marriage, it all depends on Lian Bi's willingness, whoever Lian Bi wants to marry, the Empress Dowager will marry him." The Empress Dowager laughed Laughing, "The emperor said that Lianbi was willing, but everyone knew that in the end, Ai's family had to point out the marriage. The Ai's family told the emperor that you were embarrassing your mother. The emperor and Ai's family apologized, saying that there was no one else to do this except for their mother." People are more suitable."
"The prince lost his mother when he was young, and was raised by the Ai family, and Xiao Si was raised by the imperial concubine. Although he was born to the same mother, the prince is closer to the Ai family."
Liu Anping didn't dare to listen anymore.
"The prince is already under one person and above ten thousand people. He is already hated by others, and the Ai family is unwilling to add another fire. For many years, the Ai family has treated the prince just like other descendants. There is nothing special about it." Tai Huang The Empress Dowager smiled, as if she was recalling those youths who were in full bloom, "But when the prince knelt in front of Ai's family and told Ai's family that he liked Lianbi with bright eyes, he had never liked anyone like this before." , Aijia just wants to be partial."
"Prince, the prince is a good boy. What he has, Xiao Si has. Some unique things, if Xiao Si wants them, the prince will give them to him without hesitation. This time, he didn't let him. The Ai family understands that this How to make things happen."
"So the Ai family called Lian Bi into the palace. She is more beautiful than the last time the Ai family saw her. Her eyes seem to be clear water. If the Ai family is a young man, he will also like such a girl."
"The Ai family said to Lian Bi with a sullen face, Miss Zhang made the palace uneasy. The left and right were frightened by the Ai family, but Lian Bi was not. She knelt in front of the Ai family to plead guilty, still with a smile on her face, She said to wait for the queen mother to leave. How could the Ai family be willing to punish her? Get her up, ask someone to pour tea for her, and tell her that several princes like her, and want to ask the Ai family to marry her. I want to ask you, Zhang family is said to be noble, why don’t there be a few more pieces of jade in the house? Jade is linked to the city, too many strong people are difficult, how come there are no lotus flowers growing together? She smiled and said to the Queen Mother, in front of princes and daughters, I dare not praise it. Then whispered, who are the princes that the Queen Mother mentioned?"
"So the Ai family said that it was the fourth prince, the fifth prince, and the seventh prince. She didn't even blink her eyes. She just said it was the fault of the courtiers. She will definitely restrain herself in the future. I looked into the child's eyes and knew that she didn't care about anyone. I like it. The Ai family said again, ah, there is also the prince. She laughed immediately. The Ai family looked at her, and it was the first time they saw her blushing from the bottom of her ears. It happened that the prince came, and the Ai family asked the prince to talk to Lianbi. I was young when I was young, so I can't say anything, just say, I have a heart of cherishing money and things. Before I finish talking about Lian Bi, I will grab white. Is the courtier money or things? After finishing speaking, I will talk to Aijia Farewell, the Ai family agreed, but the crown prince couldn't stop him, he watched Lian Bi leave helplessly, and even after sitting down for a cup of tea, he would leave too. The Ai family..."
Liu Anping broke away from her embrace, and knelt straight in front of her.
The Empress Dowager was puzzled and said, "Xiao Liu, what are you doing?"
Liu Anping's teeth were trembling, and he said: "There are too many royal secrets in the story of the Empress Dowager, the younger generation dare not listen to it."
The Empress Dowager looked at the Sixth Princess, her eyes did not look like an old man, nor did she look like a great-grandmother, as if she was examining something.
Liu Anping kowtowed deeply.
After a while, the Empress Dowager smiled calmly and said, "Good boy, what are you doing kneeling, get up quickly."
Behind the Empress Dowager, the beauty in a palace costume said: "Empress Dowager, Lord Yuan is here."
The Empress Dowager smiled, and said, "Tell him to come here." She was joking, "Your father had pointed you to Yuan Zanbi before, Yuanzanbi is well-born, and it's good at home, and you can be considered a household name with you." Yes, do you like him?"
Liu Anping shook her head, because of the previous incident, she only dared to say: "Grandmother Gao, Master Yuan has arrived." Like a shy little daughter.
The Empress Dowager said: "Anping, take your two younger sisters to another place to play."
Liu Anping nodded and said: "Yes." He said and led the two younger sisters out.
She happened to meet Yuan Zan pen coming in.
Although Yuan Zanbi was not wearing a military uniform, it was incompatible with the leisurely and elegant residence of the Empress Dowager.
It was as if some kind of sword had turned into a human form, no matter where it was, it was cold and hard, not soft at all.
It's completely different from Qiao Yu who has to soften his tone of voice.
The Empress Dowager saw that Yuan Zan had finished kneeling, and said, "Give me a seat."
The location is very close to the Empress Dowager.
Yuan Zanbi didn't know whether to sit down or not.
The Empress Dowager said: "If you really look into it carefully, you should also call Aijia grandma." She pointed to the seat beside her, "Sit down." Her tone was not as cold as before, "Have you seen your grandma?"
Yuan Zanbi sat down and said, "I met you a few times when I was young."
"It's not very close."
Yuan Zanbi's status is embarrassing, in the Yuan family, except for Yuan Zanying, he is not close to anyone, and said: "Yes, when I was young, I had a very unpleasant personality."
When the Empress Dowager heard this, she laughed a little and said, "You haven't changed yet."
Yuan Zanbi had no choice but to say: "The minister lost his manners in front of the Empress Dowager, please ask the Empress Dowager to come down."
The Empress Dowager waved her hand in annoyance.
The sun shone on the luxurious emeralds on the old man's head, which was shockingly beautiful.
The Empress Dowager said: "You have some inextricable connections with the royal family. With your status, if the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, the Ai family dare not make promises, but at least you will be honored."
Of course Yuan Zanbi knew that the Empress Dowager would not look for him for no reason, but he didn't expect it to be because of the prince.
She has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and she did not ask about state affairs early on. If it was not an emergency, she would not come forward today.
No matter who becomes the emperor, the status of the Empress Dowager will not change, she is still the most honorable woman in the entire Wei Kingdom, so in Yuan Zanbi's mind, there is no need for her to find him for the prince.
Yuan Zan wrote cautiously: "The minister will be loyal to the emperor."
But who is Jun, Yuan Zanbi doesn't know.
The Empress Dowager sneered, "The Ai family thought you were an upright person, but it turns out that you are also a villain who adapts to the wind."
Yuan Zanbi blinked his eyes, he just wanted to ask about the empress dowager's unceremonious evaluation, why did the empress dowager think he was a decent person?
The young people didn't speak, they expected her to be quite innocent, even a person like the Empress Dowager couldn't help feeling that what she had said was too much, she covered her mouth with her sleeve and coughed twice, saying: "Aijia The first time I heard about you was because of Chang Ning. Chang Ning told the Ai family that there was a fool in the previous court, and he even gave up his career and life to save the son of a guilty minister." She looked at Yuan Zanbi's face, "Who People can't predict what will happen next, so it can be seen that you still had some sincerity towards the son of the criminal minister, why are you running in the opposite direction now, and you don't vote for it?"
The son of the guilty minister she was talking about was naturally Qiao Yu.
I don't know if it is Yuan Zanbi's illusion, it seems that no matter who it is, he always likes to make a big fuss about his relationship with Qiao Yu.
"It's not going in the opposite direction." Yuan Zan wrote.
The Empress Dowager sneered, "You and Qiao Yu are not at odds, but you still have to say that love is incompatible?"
Yuan Zanbi didn't understand this evaluation even more.
He and Qiao Yu... are incompatible?
The Empress Dowager continued: "Although Ai's family is in the harem, they have heard about the affairs of the previous dynasty. Qiao Yu is very fond of His Majesty." She changed the subject, "However, the Sacred Heart is unpredictable, and he acts ruthlessly and decisively. Do not leave a way out for yourself, do you understand?"
Yuan Zanbi only felt that the conversation at this moment was full of weirdness.
For example, why did the Empress Dowager care about his relationship with Qiao Yu? For example, why did the Empress Dowager care about Qiao Yu so much?
"Qiao Xiangxin has a plan, and his sacred heart is extremely prosperous. Please be at ease, the Empress Dowager."
The Empress Dowager said coldly: "You know everything, but you still say a few irrelevant words to perfuse Aijia."
He clearly knew that Qiao Yu would end badly, but he didn't say a word to stop him, and just watched with cold eyes.
It can be seen that the relationship with Qiao Yu is indeed different from the past.
This is what the empress dowager meant.
Yuan Zan paused slightly, and said: "I dare not be perfunctory."
The Empress Dowager's eyes fell on his face, and the other party's expression was a little bit of fear, but in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, most of them were fake.
From his mouth, the Empress Dowager couldn't hear anything she wanted to hear, and from his face, the Empress Dowager couldn't see anything she wanted to see.
"Today's matter, in the end, is related to the prince. Qiao Yu is too ruthless, too ignorant of the importance," the empress dowager said coldly. Qiao Yu, who caused her to kiss her great-grandson, was not Yuan Zan Bi, who seemed to be standing clean on the shore all the time, "You said that your relationship with Qiao Yu has never been estranged, did he tell you about this?" She replied, "Whether you know it or not, you naturally have to answer that you don't know."
Yuan Zanbi: "..."
Even a person like him who has almost no curiosity can't help wondering what the empress dowager wants him to do here.
Every word of the Empress Dowager seemed to be displeased with what Qiao Yu did to the Crown Prince, but Qiao Yu was so full of words that Yuan Zanbi even thought that the Crown Prince was just a cover, and the Empress Dowager was more concerned about Qiao Yu.
Forgive him for not being smart enough to guess the intention of the Empress Dowager.
"If Qiao Yu continues to go his own way, Your Majesty will definitely not be tolerated by the new emperor after a hundred years." The Empress Dowager said, "If there is any trouble again, the only way to die. Today, he and the crown prince are fighting each other, but it will only cause internal friction in the court. The crown prince is a crown prince. There was no fluctuation in her tone, but the pride of the royal family was naturally revealed in it, "I will always be a prince."
Although the prince is weak and cowardly, he is better than the third prince in the empress dowager's heart. Qiao Yu would be too foolish if he wanted to support the third prince.With the character of the third prince, Qiao Yu was bound to die.
Yuan Zan wrote: "Yes, I take orders."
In the eyes of the Empress Dowager, her children and grandchildren inevitably entered a dead end, and she was anxious and sad in her heart, and could not speak out.
The Empress Dowager didn't know how much Yuan Zanbi was sincere and how false she was to Qiao Yu, but the Empress Dowager could only think of him to persuade Qiao Yu.
The Empress Dowager said: "The Ai family is tired, you can go down."
Yuan Zanbi got up and bowed to say goodbye.
The Empress Dowager suddenly said, "Did Qiao Yu's leg be broken in the quiet room?"
Yuan Zan wrote: "Yes."
The Empress Dowager was speechless for a while, and said: "Go."
She leaned back on the chair and stared blankly at the scenery in the courtyard.
She entered the palace at the age of 14, gave birth to the emperor at the age of 16, and became the queen at the age of 17. She went through many battles and schemes, and before she was 40, the emperor died. Her son fought with a group of brothers and became a descendant an emperor.
Her husband had never established a crown prince in his life, and several sons had fought to the death for this position for nearly ten years. The new emperor was afraid and established a crown prince early.
The prince is her favorite grandson, and Xiao Si is her beloved child.
However, her beloved child is inseparable from the death of her favorite grandson.
Now Qiao Yu desperately wants the emperor to abolish the crown prince.
It has simply become a cycle.
In her life, she has witnessed how many brothers killed each other, and father and son turned against each other.
There were so many words in his mouth, but in the end it was just a deep sigh.
Qiao Yu's sharpness is too sharp, it will not last long.
I hope that the Yuanzan pen can really make him restrain himself a little, I hope.
……
And this Qiao Xiang, who made countless people hate him so much that he wanted to eat his flesh and skin, was worrying about what to eat for dinner.
The emperor had already sent someone to appease the prince, and naturally he also appeased the prince. Neither of them took advantage of the slightest advantage.
Besides, as long as the emperor does not abolish the crown prince, the crown prince will be the future emperor. There is no need to offend the future lord of the world because of Qiao Yu, a lunatic.
People in the court are used to meeting the wind and making the rudder, Qiao Yu is used to it, and now feels that he has suffered a lot.
Lost everything.
He poured himself a cup of tea, drank it in one gulp, and used the tea to grind his teeth, which looked a little funny.
He said: "Hantan, what time is it?"
"You hour." The latter replied.
Qiao Yu said: "It's really strange, Yuan Zanbi still hasn't come back at this hour, could it be that the Empress Dowager still keeps him for dinner?"
Han Tan was speechless.
Of course he knew that in Qiao Yu's mind, it didn't matter whether the Yuanzan pen stayed with the Empress Dowager for dinner, what was important was why the Yuanzan pen didn't come.
Qiao Yu really hoped that Yuan Zan's pen would come, but the less involved with him at this time, the better.
He seldom thinks about others, and when this thought comes out, even he is taken aback.
Let him die with you, he thought, isn't it good?
